T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RANsoM K. BURT, of Marshalltown, in the county off Marshall and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tug-Buckles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying draw-A ings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in `tug-buckles; and it consists in the combination, with atug-buckle, of an eccentric or other clamping device and a stirrup, as will be more fully described hereinafter.

The object of my invention is to `combine a tug-buckle with a clamping device that will connect the buckle and tug together without having to cut holes in the tug, and thereby weaken it.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan View of a buckle embodying my invention complete. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, taken upon the lines 00 y of Figi.

A represents atongueless tug-buckle, which has the extension B formed on its rear end, and from opposite edges of which rise the langes C, which are' connected together by the cross-brace D. ,These flanges serve not only as a means of keeping the tug or trace in position upon the buckle, but also as `a means forsecuring the locking-cam in position. The top of the extension is roughened in any manner,for the purpose"""of taking a firm hold on the tug. Pivoted between the flanges C is the eccentric F, which serves to l clampy the tug vdown on the extension, and thus secure the two parts together without the help of tongues or other similar appliver G, by means of which the eccentric is operated, and which is long enoughfto have its outer end rest on the front end of the buckle. The hame-tug has its rear end sewed to the stirrup I. The tug has its end passed in between tug is fastened to the hame-tug without the weakening the tug by cutting holes in it.
